which is it?

a coworker in a meeting yesterday said of a certain idea that it needs to be "flushed out" to provide more detail.

i thought to myself, "is it flushed or fleshed?"

i have to vote for "fleshed," as if to say "this idea is a skeleton, a framework, and we need to add flesh to the bones to make it whole."

but it was a marketing meeting, so i'm not surprised that incorrect language was used. i'm just impressed they managed to get dressed properly. :)

you flush bad ideas down a toliet, but flesh out ideas. As in your skeleton line of thought.

Most ideas in marketing meetings do need to be flushed out, so that person might have been more correct than they knew...

i agree with ja3 - it is flushed out.
